Couple · Conjugal topoanalysis
The couple is a place — Ivy Daure
As a couple therapist, I am constantly on the lookout for new approaches and new ideas to enrich my practice. I recently explored the “conjugal topoanalysis” presented by Ivy Daure in her book “Le couple est un lieu” (The couple is a place), and I would like to share this discovery with you.
Whether you are a therapist in search of continuous improvement or simply curious to discover new approaches in couple therapy, this exchange offers precious ideas and tools to better understand and support couples.
The full presentation — in French — can be discovered in the video below.
